$58,000,000 to live in Cambria, CA? It’s hard to fathom that price pleasing the average highly-paid person—even the very highly paid type person needed to be to buy this place. Even with 20%, the monthly mortgage would run over $207K.

But then again, a coastal getaway is probably on every multi-millionaires must have list. So we’ll skip the location and get to the real story: the décor.

Built just a few years ago, the 32,500 square foot behemoth you see here aims for (but maybe doesn’t quite hit) old Italian flavor. Each room tries to out-do the next with heavy-handed brocade, gilt, marble and leather. Oversized reproductions of the Venus de Milo don’t help tone things down much. Meanwhile, the helipad, garage “showcase for exotic autos” and home theater refuse to reflect any actual decorating or architectural style other than generic rich person. Still, the house manages to be stunning, though maybe not for the reason seller and seller’s agent hope for.

So what say you, discerning readers? Worth the money for any reason whatsoever? The comment section awaits your judgement.
